This $371,175 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative research project is to develop a functional model for predicting soil organic matter composition and cycling at the continental scale. Researchers from the University of Georgia Research Foundation will leverage existing data and new samples from the National Ecological Observatory...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $407,576 will fund a 5-year project at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) focused on understanding the evolution of life and Earth's atmosphere through the reconstruction of seawater phosphorus levels over the last 2 billion years. The project aims to: Develop a record of phosphorus concentration in ancient oceans from 2 to 0.5 billion years ago to examine if the evolution of marine microorganisms was...
This $301,751 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project to develop new sensor technologies for detecting and measuring phosphorus in the environment. The key objectives are to: Design and develop molecular "receptor" elements that can selectively bind to various phosphorus compounds; Integrate these receptor elements with semiconductor technologies to...
This National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology project grant of $400,000 awarded on June 15, 2022 to Wright State University will fund research investigating changes to forest soil microorganism communities due to interactive effects of increasing soil phosphorus and pH. The research aims to determine if altered soil phosphorus availability drives changes in taxonomic and functional composition of microorganism communities through a 12-year forest fertilization experiment...
This $313,727 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program funds a 5-year collaborative research effort to develop low-cost, portable sensors capable of accurately measuring phosphorus levels in agricultural, environmental, and marine settings. The project brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in areas such as supramolecular and inorganic chemistry, polymer science, soft-matter electronics, and environmental...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $222,179 in funding from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 to support collaborative research on "Mineral-Associated Organic Matter: An Overlooked Source and Mediator of Bioavailable Nitrogen." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and...
This $763,538 federal Project Grant was awarded to the University of Chicago on July 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project aims to understand the mechanistic basis of functional robustness in the soil microbiome, connecting detailed microbial processes to broader ecological and environmental outcomes like soil fertility and greenhouse gas emissions. The research objectives include elucidating how soil microbiomes respond to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, will support research to investigate how microbial social interactions within soil communities influence ecosystem-level carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling. The $982,308 award, effective April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027, will combine molecular and computational approaches to study bacterial communication and division of labor...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), doing business as Penn State, a $450,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. This grant supports a research project that aims to test a new framework depicting the soil-stream interface as a dynamic, expanding, and contracting volume encompassing near-stream zones and periodically...
